BULGUR WHEAT
Boil the kettle. Using a shallow bowl, submerge the bulgur wheat in 75ml of boiling water. Add a drizzle of oil and gently stir through with a fork. Cover with a plate and set aside to steam for 15-20 minutes until cooked and tender. Fluff up with the fork on completion, season, replace the plate, and set aside.
HONEY NUTS
Place the chopped walnuts in a pan over a medium heat. Toast for 3-5 minutes until golden, shifting occasionally. Add ½ the honey, and mix until the nuts are fully coated in the honey. Remove from the pan, place on a plate and season with a pinch of salt. Break apart once cooled.
CARAMEL ONIONS
Return the pan to a medium heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter (optional). When hot, fry the sliced onion for 7-9 minutes until soft, browned and caramelised, shifting occasionally. At the halfway mark, add a sweetener of choice (to taste) to caramelise it further. Cover, and set aside to keep warm.
SAUTÉED MUSHROOMS & DRESSING
Place a nonstick pan over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter (optional). When hot, fry the quartered mushrooms and the rub for 3-5 minutes until soft and golden, shifting as they colour. Remove from the pan on completion and season to taste. In a small bowl, combine the mustard, the remaining honey, a drizzle of oil, seasoning, and a squeeze of lemon juice.
PLATE IT UP!
Plate up the fluffy bulgur wheat. Top with the rinsed salad leaves, the caramelised onions, the fried mushrooms, and the sliced goat’s cheese. Sprinkle over the honey nuts and drizzle over the mustard dressing. Garnish with any remaining lemon wedge on the side. Enjoy, Chef!
